ALL CHANGE AT THE FRONT OF THE 2 COUNTIES KART CLUB CHAMPS
At the penultimate round, of the 2 Counties Club Championship, the lead in both Junior and Formula Blue Classes changed.
Devon Giles took the winning points in a small Cadet Honda Class.
Junior Blue saw the re-emergence of Rhy Read, whose pole and win promoted him into the lead, of the Club Champs. Equal 2nd place, with 5 points on the day went to Mitch Carpenter, who, as a consequence, moved up into 2nd place overall. 1 point behind sits Rudie Winslow-Morten, who shared the race day 2nd position with Carpenter.
A Collision between Kevin Ford and Anthony Cleal in the Final of the Formula Blue race moved both of them down the race order. This allowed Joey foster to take the Championship lead. On the day, it was Stuart Gray & Joey foster who shared the day’s win on points, though it was Gray who claimed the on-track victory. 3rd on the day was Billy Thomas with 8 points, 1 point ahead of Mike Bell, who, in the process, sits in 2nd place overall. He shares the same number of championship points (15) with Cleal, but is ahead by virtue of his better drop option. 4th place in the Championship is filled by Kevin O’Neill, 10 points ahead of Paul Alexander.
Foster also leads in the Blue Master section, with Cleal 2 points behind in 2nd spot. O’Neill holds 3rd place from Alexander in 4th. He is only 1 point clear of Steve Groves.
In the veteran sub-group, Cleal has space between himself and O’Neill with Alexander, Groves and Chris Underhill bringing up the top 5.
O’Neill remains in the lead of the Legend section by virtue of using his superior drop option. Underhill sits in 2nd, ahead of Goode, Ron shone and John Hartshorne.
The lead in the last of the sub-groups, Blue Top Weight, has been snatched by Rob Mortimore. His clean sweep of pole to flag moves him ahead of Shone, albeit by only 1 point. Tom Parker, Fred Powell and Phil Shears bring up the top 5.
As the racing season comes to a close for 2022, drivers look forward to the final round of the Championship at the Clay Pigeon circuit on November 13th. This race meeting also features the Matthew Percy Memorial race for Junior Blue and Formula Blue, the trophies of which are being currently held by Sam Mitchell in the Juniors and Anthony Cleal in the Seniors.
